In consideration of all of the foregoing, the Company and Executive agree as follows:
Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation (a)Optionee hereby acknowledges that Optionee has or in thefuture may have access to the Company's trade secrets and proprietary or confidential information developed or acquired by or licensed to the Company, including, but not limited to, information regarding the Company's operations, business plans, customers or prospects, products, computer passwords or other information regarding network or systems access and research and development information, as such trade secrets and proprietary or confidential information may exist from time to time ("Confidential Information"). As consideration for the Option granted to Optionee hereunder, Optionee will not, at any time during Optionee's relationship with the Company, in whole or in part, disclose or cause any other person to disclose the Confidential Information to any other person or entity (except the Company) under any circumstances. In addition, Optionee will not, during the term of Optionee's relationship with the Company, and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, solicit or assist any other person or entity in soliciting any employee of the Company to terminate the employee's employment with the Company under any circumstances.
No Solicitation by Parent (a) Parent agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, it shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any of its subsidiaries or any of its or its subsidiaries' Representatives, directly or indirectly, to (i) solicit, initiate, encourage or facilitate, or furnish or disclose non-public information in furtherance of, any inquiries or the making of any proposal with respect to a Parent Competing Transaction (as defined herein) or (ii) negotiate, explore or otherwise engage in discussions with any person (other than Company or Newco or their respective Representatives) with respect to any Parent Competing Transaction. The term "Parent Competing Transaction" means any recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other business combination involving Parent, or acquisition of any material portion of the capital stock or assets (except for (A) acquisitions of assets in the ordinary course of business, (B) acquisitions by Parent that do not and could not reasonably be expected to impede the consummation of the Merger and do not violate any other covenant in this Agreement, (C) transactions disclosed in the Parent Disclosure Letter and (D) the Transactions) of Parent, or any combination of the foregoing. Parent will immediately cease all existing activities, discussions and negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing and shall use its reasonable best efforts to enforce any confidentiality or similar agreement relating to a Parent Competing Transaction. From and after the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall immediately advise the Company in writing of the receipt, directly or indirectly, of any inquiries, discussions, negotiations, or proposals relating to a Parent Competing Transaction (including the specific terms thereof), and promptly furnish to the Company a copy of any such proposal or inquiry in addition to any information provided to or by any third party relating thereto and if such proposal or inquiry is not in writing, the identity of the person making such proposal or inquiry. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to receipt of the Parent Shareholder Approval, Parent may, but only to the extent that the Board of Directors of Parent shall conclude in good faith, based upon the advice of its outside counsel, that failure to take such action could reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the fiduciary obligations of such Board of Directors under Applicable Law, in response to a proposal for a Parent Competing Transaction that constitutes a Qualifying Parent Proposal (as defined in Section 5.03(d)) that did not result from the breach or a deemed breach of this Section 5.03, and subject to compliance with the notification provisions of this Section 5.03, (A) furnish non-public information with respect to Parent to the person proposing such Parent Competing Transaction and its Representatives pursuant to a confidentiality agreement with terms no less restrictive of such person than those set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 6.02) and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with such person and its Representatives regarding such Parent Competing Transaction. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.03(a) by any Representative or affiliate of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary, whether or not such person is purporting to act on behalf of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.03(a) by Parent.
Confidentiality Non Solicitation A&M and Engagement Personnel shall keep as confidential all non-public information received from the Company in conjunction with this engagement, except: (i) as requested by the Company or its legal counsel; (ii) as required by legal proceedings; or (iii) as reasonably required in the performance of this engagement. All obligations as to non-disclosure shall cease as to any part of such information to the extent that such information is, or becomes, public other than as a result of a breach of this provision. The Company, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries and affiliates and any person which may acquire all or substantially all of its assets agrees that, until two (2) years subsequent to the termination of this engagement, it will not solicit, recruit, hire or otherwise engage any employee of A&M or any of its affiliates who worked on this engagement while employed by A&M or its affiliates (“Solicited Person”). Should the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any person who acquires all or substantially all of its assets extend an offer of employment to or otherwise engage any Solicited Person and should such offer be accepted, A&M shall be entitled to a fee from the Company equal to the Solicited Person’s hourly client billing rate at the time of the offer multiplied by 4,000 hours for a Managing Director, 3,000 hours for a Senior Director and 2,000 hours for any other A&M employee. The Company acknowledges and agrees that this fee fairly represents the loss that A&M will suffer if the Company breaches this provision. The fee shall be payable at the time of the Solicited Person’s acceptance of employment or engagement.
No Solicitation of Customers During the Executive’s employment with the Employer and for a period of 12 months thereafter, the Executive shall not (except on behalf of or with the prior written consent of the Employer), either directly or indirectly, on the Executive’s own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, (A) solicit, divert, or appropriate to or for a Competing Business, or (B) attempt to solicit, divert, or appropriate to or for a Competing Business, any person or entity that is or was a customer of the Employer or any of its Affiliates at any time during the 12 months prior to the date of termination and with whom the Executive has had material contact.
